Fitness during pregnancy✨ . I know that for me,

Fitness during pregnancy✨
.
I know that for me, even as a former collegiate athlete, extremely active with a fitness background, I had so many questions when it came to working out during my first pregnancy. Am I doing enough? Am I doing too much? How many days of cardio/strength? What exercises are most beneficial during pregnancy? Etc.
.
So I know many mamas, especially newly expecting mamas are in the same boat. I wanted to share what has worked for me and has been the most beneficial during my pregnancies and postpartum when it comes to fitness.
.
I am currently doing the @expectingandempowered strength/resistance training program 3 days a week for my strength days. They are designed by a women’s health pt and each guide is written for each trimester and specific to each week of pregnancy. There is a lower body, upper body and full body strength/resistance day each week.
.
The results truly speak for themselves and are for every fitness level. They are as hard or as easy as you make them, by going up in weight and doing them for time. As a busy mama, you can do them from home, with minimal equipment and there is a postpartum guide that begins day one after you give birth. Postpartum begins with diaphragmatic breathing and deep core work and then dives into the strength and resistance training once you are cleared by your doctor to workout again!
.
.
You can use my code Jessicarogers for $10 off any guide and there is a new accountability challenge that starts tomorrow! Y’all should join me!
.
As far as cardio, I recommend 2-3 days cardio paired with the strength training days! I typically do one day of hiit of some kind (bike, hike, walking intervals etc.) and 1-2 lsd (long slow distance) training days. The best thing is to listen to your body and take rest days when you need- you can modify based on your specific pregnancy and fitness level! This is just a good basis and what has worked well for me. I felt inclined to share in case you have been thinking of joining or just have had questions about where to start! @liketoknow.it http://liketk.it/35F7n

Today was the first day for me that felt like Christmas, anyone else?

Some of my favorite pics from last year in Denver that didn’t get shared! Why are my babies so big just one year later😭

I also kind of miss dressing up and going places- just me?

As Christmas approaches and the year comes to an end, I can’t help, but feel appreciation and gratefulness for the ability to carry another blessing!
.
I saw this post the other day and it really resonated with me! Something like, “ to the woman who has a baby on her Christmas list.”
.
I was once in your shoes and my heart is with you! I pray that you find peace and comfort this holiday season. I remember the days that a baby was the only thing I prayed for, day in and day out! I am extremely blessed to have my miracle girls and to be able to carry another baby, but my thoughts and prayers will always be with those that have a baby on their wishlist!❤️❤️❤️

This pregnancy is flying by and I am starting to feel a little unprepared for baby to arrive. I haven’t purchased one thing for baby, yet! Told myself I’d wait until we got settled in and through the holidays....🤦🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️ BUT.... I think we do have a name for each gender.... I THINK....? Going to wait until baby is here to make sure we don’t change our mind, but any guesses?????👇🏽

29 weeks and acknowledging my body for all the things I can do, rather than centering my energy around the things I can’t! (We all know, I love me some high intensity, peloton workouts, but I also realize there will be many upcoming seasons for them, post baby.)
.
.
Staying active and continuing my strength workouts is what keeps me feeling my best. It truly is a miracle what our bodies are capable of, so I’m embracing the rest of this journey for all that it is!❤️
